Well, made the appointment and surprise, non of the 16 biopsy's came back as cancer. With all the signs pointing to cancer I'm happy but in the back of my mind I'm fearing that the MD missed sampling the lesion. All 16 showed HGPIN and now the waiting game starts all over with another MRI in May and the Fusion Guided Biopsy scheduled for early June.
Hi Dave @dandl48
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and tonight as you prepare for your biopsy tomorrow. I can imagine the waiting has been tough.
You ask about travelling distances of 6+ hours for follow up. I know that some people choose to be treated at Mayo, but see their local oncologist or MD for follow-up. The local doctor and Mayo specialist are in contact with one another. And the patient also can remain connected with the Mayo Cancer Care team through the online patient portal. I'm bringing @waynen @semeon @carlsonte @hodagwi and @kujhawk1978 into the conversation because I believe they have travelled long distances for treatment. They may have experiences with follow-up procedures from various institutions.
All the best tomorrow, Dave.
